Several organizations in Dauphin are once again running a program to help families in need this Christmas.
Those participating in the Adopt A Family Program will buy groceries and gifts for local families in need, says program Chairperson, Laverne Hudson.
“If you’re adopting [ a family] you’d receive a list of dry groceries that are expected to be in the hamper, and then once that list is filled you can add pretty much whatever else you’d like to donate. The gifts for the children Is what we’re concerned with, so the groceries and the gifts for the children.”
Participants will choose the size of family they wish to buy for, and will be given details on the age and gender of the children.
Filled hampers are to be dropped off at the Dauphin Friendship Centre during the second week of December.
